During a televised town hall event hosted by Fox News in Iowa, former President Donald Trump, when questioned by Fox News host Sean Hannity about potential abuse of power if he returns to office, declined to rule it out.
Trump stated, "Except for day one, we’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling," but then emphasized, "After that, I’m not a dictator."
Known for his campaign rhetoric of restructuring federal bureaucracy, Trump countered accusations by labeling President Biden as the true "destroyer of American democracy."
The crowd applauded when Hannity inquired about Trump's plans, and he pointedly remarked, "You mean like they’re using right now?"
Trump's pledge to prosecute Biden if he wins has become a central argument in the ongoing election discourse.
